Birbal
Dhar -- Liberation of Kashmir
Kashmiri
Hindus did not lose courage despite being victim of atrocities
during 500 year barbaric rule of the foreigners. When the Hindu
state was established in Punjab, Kashmiri Pandits, through their
adroitness and alertness, established contact with Maharaja
Ranjit Singh and established Hindu Government in the state. The
hero of this work was Birbal Dhar.

Kashyap
Bandhu -- A Social Reformer
He is
better known as a political leader rather than a social
reformer. His efforts to revolutionize the thinking of Kashmiri
Pandits - change their social structure and social disabilities,
brought about a tremendous change in the community, the impact
of which is visible even today in the dress of our women folk
i.e. 'saree' and in the fast growing education of our women.
